Running National Instruments LabWindows CVI version 3.1 ON 32bit OS XP

[Joe1981]

We have equipment calibration software written in

National Instruments LabWindows CVI version 3.1 running on old NT 4 hardware. We are looking at replacing this hardware with modern XP based 32 bit machines but as the software written is 16bit we may need a full rewrite of our software. Is there a way of having the old 16bit code used in the modern labview or anyway of having this 16bit code run on a 32 bit OS

Any help is greatly appreciated

Hello Joe,

Windows XP 32 bit allows you to run your 16 bit application through emulation via a Virtual DOS Machine.  There should be no problem running the code under 32 bit XP.  However, do note that the new 64 bit OS's do not support this emulation mode, and thus your 16 bit application will have to be updated to work with these newer OS's.  Please don't hesitate to let us know if you run into any trouble.
